i `The Sehedule referredl to these lLetters Patent and makingprt of thesame.

To all whom it 'may concern.: i

Be `it known that I, NICHOLAS S. VEDDER, of Troy,

in the county of Rensselaer, and State of New York,

havev invented new'and useful Improvements in Water-Reservoir"(looking-.Stoves or Ranges; and I do hereby declare the following toA bea full, clear, and

Y exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and the letters of reference lmarked thereon,forming part ofthis specification', iu

My inventionconssts,irst, in the extension of the ascending and descendingoven-heating lues above the top plate. of the stove, and against theupper portion of the front,` of the'reservoir,and communicating with'aue or heatingp V of thereservoir and theback plat-e, of the stoven p Myiuventi'onals'o consists'in the descending and ascendingues against vthefront part of the resering oveu-heating nues.v

- And my invention'further consists in the dampers,

arranged'to regulate the passageof the gases of combustion through theascending and` descending dues, between the hack part of the stoveandthe front of To enable otherstskilled in the art to make and4 use myimproved stove, I will proceed to describe its cpuistruction andoperation, reference beingv had to the accompanying drawings. i

Aris an ordinary stove, provided with ascending and V descendingoven-heating ilues B B, anda draughtf'ue,

C.` These lines are extended beyondI thc top plate of the stove, as seenat b b c, and form, as it were, a con,r

tinuationof the ovenfheating and draught fines.

On the rear of thelbacli plate of the stove is-cast, or `otherwisesecured, a rim or llange, D, which forms an air-space when the`reservoir is attached to the stove. This 'air-space is divided into.three compartments, by partitions E E, which 4extend from theI top ofthe extension-ues to within a short distance of the bottom of the `rimI), as seen in iig. 3.

A lamper, F, is arranged within the draught-flue O,

tudinal vertical section -of' my improved water-reservoir cooking-stove;

hambr between the `lower portieri maggto regulate the draught and escapeof heat, and air other damper, G, is 4placed withn'the central line,formed by the partitions E E, at the rear of the stove. The'top plate ofthe stove, with its .extension-lines, (see g. 4,) is placed upon thestove, andthe reservoir I-l, with an extension, I, is securedV to therear end ol'l the stove, iu the following manner:

The extension I is made of a depth equal to the rim D, formingtheair-s'pace, and coming in close contact witlrthev partitions E E. Thetop ofthe exten-Y ;sion I is cover-ed, with the exception of astove-pipe hole, K, immediately over the draught-flue C, the bottomedgeoilthe extension I fitting down lclose onto the top iig. 1. v

The partitions L L, forming the Aoven-heating and draught flues, arereturned a'short distance over tlie oven-plate, forming a ilange for thedamper F to close against.

lhe operation of my improved stove is as follows:

The damper F being open, the heat, generated in' the front of the stove,will lpass around the arm and escape through the draughtiueC, the risingheat, which escapes the action of the draught, risingup the extensionascendingtlues 11, heating the upper portion of thefront of thereservoir, and passing down into the iiues m mf, behind the backV plateof the stove, and up into the centre flue n, heat the lower partof thefront of the reservoir, the centre flu'e n being closed by the damper G.i

When it is desired to intensify the heat against the Y' front of thereservoir, the damper F is closed, forcing all the heat into theascending landdescending ovenheating ucsfrom whence it escapes vinto thcilues b b, is then drawn into the iiues m m, along and bctween the endsof the partitions and the bottom rim D,intothe central lue n., and findsan exit (if the4 damper G beopened) into the extension draught-flue O,and out throughthe exit K. i

kIt will thus be seen, that by the use of the .dampers tion of myimproved stove, lVhat I claim as new, and desire Ato secure by LettersPatent, isl The lines b c b, above the top plate of the stove, and inline with the ovcn-h`eating `and draughtlues B -O B, against the upperpart of the front side of the reservoir H, inv combination with theheating-fines Also, the ascending and descending dues 'in m, in

plate of the stove, as' seen most ,clearly at v on n, on, substantiallyas and for the purpose set forth.`

combination with the ascending and descending ovenheating ues B C B, inthe mannenaud for the purpose set forth.

Also, the water-reservoir, having its back and ends naked or uncovered,and its front Acovered by the lues m fn, m, when the said lues are inconnection with the oven-heating lues, as hereinbefore described, forthe purpose set forth.

Also, in combination with the stove and reservoir,

when constructed and arranged as described, the dampers F and G,operating substantially in the manner .y

and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand,

this 7th day of June, A. D. 1869. t
